A Virgin A Day: Creation's New Eve

"Creation's New Eve
reveals
'a people in darkness'
not forsaken
but waiting,
for the blackness is contained
within a warm and spotless womb
dotted only
with the Speck of a Savior."

note: This is the first time 
I've heard of Rita A. Simmonds. 
With this poem,
I know that I shall read
more of her poetry.


linking to the
incomparable Rebecca and her

I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing.
